Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Reed join LIV Golf Series

Two more American major golf champions are joining the Saudi Arabia-based LIV Golf Series. According to Adam Wells of Bleacher Report, the two new additions are 2020 United States Open champion Bryson DeChambeau of Modesto, California, and 2018 Masters champion Patrick Reed of San Antonio, Texas.

Both have signed multi-million dollar deals with the LIV Golf Series and leave the PGA Tour. Already it has been reported that Phil Mickelson, the six-time major champion has joined the new tour for $200 million, and Dustin Johnson, the two-time major champion has joined the new tour for $150 million.

The latest two PGA Tour defectors come at a time when the LIV Golf Series is launching this weekend in London, England. DeChambeau and Reed are not present this weekend, but are expected to join the series when it begins its American swing at the end of the month in Portland.

At the present time, it has been a great start to the LIV Golf Series for 2011 Masters champion Charl Schwartzel of South Africa, He has a three stroke lead over fellow South African Hennie du Plessis, who participated on the European Tour.

It will now be interesting to see if the European Tour will follow the PGA Tour’s lead and suspend its players. Following the announcement of 17 players being suspended by the PGA Tour on Thursday (DeChambeau and Reed were not on the list), Ian Poulter of England announced his intentions to appeal. However, PGA Tour star Rory McIlroy of Holywood, Northern Ireland has stated that the PGA Tour has been extremely clear to its members for over a month, and that those who jumped ship to the LIV Series would be at risk of being suspended. The PGA Tour has also announced all golfers who join the LIV Series are not eligible to participate at the 2022 Presidents Cup in Charlotte in September.
